Anatomy of the abdominopelvic cavity (CT-Scan)

We commonly use normal exam of healthy patients to create the anatomical modules of e-anatomy. In this case, we’ve deliberately chosen an abnormal patient with an important peritoneal effusion. This allows to the user to perfectly see the different parts of the peritoneal cavity (omental bursa, paracolic gutters, mesentery, mesocolon…). That’s why this patient also has a hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis, ascites, portal hypertension, portacaval anastomosis and splenomegaly!

Data and DICOM images stocked on our PACS (Picture Archiving and Communicating System) were processed and exported as JPEG images. Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop allowed us to develop an atlas-based application with suitable functionality and user interface for the study of the abdomen and pelvis anatomy (labelled according to the Terminologia Anatomica).
